1 Sama’ila 4
1 Duk sa’ad da Sama’ila ya yi magana dukan Isra’ila sukan saurare shi. Isra’ilawa suka fita yaƙi da Filistiyawa. Isra’ilawa suka kafa sansani a Ebenezer, Filistiyawa kuma a Afek.
And the word of Samuel became known to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ha'ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
2 Filistiyawa suka tunƙuro mayaƙansu domin su sadu da Isra’ilawa, yaƙi kuwa ya yi tsanani har Isra’ilawa suka sha kashi a hannun Filistiyawa. Filistiyawa suka kashe Isra’ilawa kusan mutum dubu huɗu a bakin dāgā.
And the Philistines put themselves in battle-array against Israel; and the battle became general, and Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew on the battle-ground, in the field, about four thousand men.
3 Lokacin da mayaƙan suka komo sansani, dattawan Isra’ilawa suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Me ya sa Ubangiji ya sa muka sha ɗibga a hannun Filistiyawa? Bari mu kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji daga Shilo. Domin yă tafi tare da mu yă ba mu nasara kan abokan gābanmu.”
And when the people were come back into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us this day before the Philistines? Let us bring over to us out of Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that it may come in the midst of us, and deliver us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 Saboda haka mutanen suka aika waɗansu maza zuwa Shilo, suka kuwa tafi suka kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki wanda yake zaune tsakanin Kerubobi.’Ya’yan Eli biyun nan Hofni da Finehas suna wurin tare da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.
So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought away from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth over the cherubim: and the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 Da aka shigo da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji a cikin sansani, sai Isra’ilawa suka tā da babbar murya har ƙasa ta jijjiga.
And it happened when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, that all Israel set up a great shout, so that the earth trembled.
6 Da jin wannan, Filistiyawa suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Me ke kawo wannan ihu mai ƙarfi haka a sansanin Isra’ilawa?” Da suka gane cewa akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ne ya shiga sansanin,
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 sai Filistiyawa suka ji tsoro, suka ce, “Wani allah ya shiga cikin sansanin. Mun shiga uku! Ba a taɓa yin wani abu haka ba.
And the Philistines were afraid; for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for the like of this hath not been, yesterday or the day before.
8 Kaiton mu! Wa zai kuɓutar da mu daga hannun waɗannan manyan alloli? Su ne allolin da suka buga Masarawa da irin annoba masu yawa a jeji.
Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
9 Ku yi ƙarfin hali, ku yi mazantaka, ku Filistiyawa, domin kada ku zama bayin Ibraniyawa kamar yadda suke a gare ku. Ku yi mazantaka, ku yi yaƙi.”
Be strong, and act like men, O Philistines, so that ye become not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: therefore act like men, and fight.
10 Saboda haka Filistiyawa suka yi yaƙi, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka sha ɗibga, kowane mutum kuwa ya gudu zuwa tentinsa. Kisan kuwa ya yi muni ƙwarai. Isra’ilawa sun rasa mayaƙa dubu talatin.
And the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were smitten, and they fled every man unto his tent: and the defeat was very great; and there fell of Israel thirty thousand men on foot.
11 Aka ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji. Aka kuma kashe’ya’yan Eli biyu, Hofni da Finehas.
And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, died also.
12 A wannan rana wani mutumin Benyamin ya ruga da bakin dāgā ya shigo Shilo, taguwarsa a yage, kansa kuma a rufe da ƙasa.
And there ran a man of Benjamin from the battlefield, and came to Shiloh on the same day, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head.
13 Da ya iso sai ga Eli zaune a kujera kusa da hanya yana kallo, domin tsoron da yake da shi saboda akwatin alkawarin Allah. Da mutumin ya shigo a garin ya ba da labarin abin da ya faru sai dukan gari ya ruɗe da ihu.
And when he came, lo, 'Eli was sitting upon a chair by the wayside watching; for his heart was anxious for the ark of God. And when the man came to tell it in the city, all the city cried out.
14 Eli ya ji ihun ya yi tambaya ya ce, mene ne dalilin wannan ihu? Mutumin ya rugo wurin Eli,
And when 'Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this multitude? And the man came in hastily, and told it to 'Eli.
15 wanda yake da shekaru tasa’in da takwas da haihuwa, idanunsa kuma ƙarfi ya ƙare, baya iya gani.
Now 'Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were fixed, so that he could not see.
16 Mutumin ya gaya wa Eli cewa, “Shigowata ke nan daga bakin dāgā. Na kuɓuce daga can yau ɗin nan.” Eli ya ce, “Me ya faru da’ya’yana?”
And the man said unto 'Eli, I am the person that came from the battlefield, and I myself fled from the battlefield today. And he said, What was it that took place, my son?
17 Mutumin da ya kawo labarin ya ce, “Isra’ilawa sun gudu a gaban Filistiyawa, mayaƙan kuma sun sha mummunar ɗibga.’Ya’yanka Hofni da Finehas su ma sun mutu. Aka kuma ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Allah.”
And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath also been a great slaughter among the people, and also thy two sons, Chophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God hath been taken.
18 Da ya ambaci akwatin alkawarin Allah, sai Eli ya fāɗi da baya daga kujeransa kusa da ƙofa, wuyarsa ta karye, ya kuma mutu domin ya tsufa ƙwarai. Ya yi shugabancin Isra’ila shekaru arba’in.
And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the chair backward by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 Matar Finehas, ɗansa tana da ciki a lokacin ta kuma kusa haihuwa. Sa’ad da ta ji labari cewa an ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Allah, ta kuma labarin surukinta da mijinta sun mutu, sai ta shiga naƙuda, ta kuma haihu. Amma naƙuda ta sha ƙarfinta.
And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings concerning that the ark of God had been taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she sank down and gave birth; for her pains came suddenly upon her.
20 Da tana mutuwa, matan da suke lura da ita suka ce, “Kada ki karaya kin haifi ɗa namiji.” Amma ba tă ba da amsa ko tă kula ba.
And at the moment of her dying, the women that stood around her spoke [unto her], Fear not; for a son hast thou born. But she answered not, nor did she take it to heart.
21 Ta ba wa yaron suna Ikabod, ma’ana “Ɗaukaka ta rabu da Isra’ila”, domin an ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Allah, domin kuma mutuwar surukinta da na mijinta.
And she named the child I-chabod, saying, Glory is departed from Israel; because of the taking away of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22 Ta ce, “Ɗaukaka ta rabu da Isra’ila, gama an ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Allah.”
And she said, Glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God hath been taken away.
